Chapter 42
In Mu Chenghu's constant speculation, the group finally arrived at their destination.
Since Mu Chenghu's illness, the affairs of the village have been temporarily managed by Mu Chengru.
After Mu Chengru arranged for everyone to settle down at the top of the mountain, he took Mu Ergou and Mu Qingshan down the mountain.
Mu Chenghu hadn't seen his second brother at the dinner table for two days, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.
After the meal, Mu Chenghu felt a lot better, so he asked Mu Yao to accompany him around the camp.
Mu Chenghu saw that people were busy cutting trees, burning bricks, and building houses, but he didn't see Mu Chengru's figure, and couldn't help asking, "Yaoyao, why haven't you seen your second uncle in the past two days?" ”
Mu Yao thought to herself and asked, anyway, it doesn't matter if she can hide it for a while, this time and that. Except for the second uncle, there is no other way to get food.
Mu Yao figured this out, so she replied with a smile, "The second uncle has something to do and went down the mountain." ”
"Yaoyao, did your second uncle tell you what he was going to do when he went down the mountain?" Mu Chenghu was really a little curious about how Mu Chengru could get food.
Mu Yao hurriedly shook her head and said she didn't know.
Mu Chenghu knew that his daughter must know it, but he was afraid that he would not tell himself if he was worried, and he became more and more anxious.
"Yaoyao, what happened to your second uncle going down the mountain? You're my daughter, I don't know if you lied. Mu Chenghu said this with a little sternness.
Mu Yao knew that this matter could not be hidden, so she had to tell the truth of the matter.
It turned out that Mu Chengru actually wanted to rob the grain cart that escorted grain and grass in the past, and Mu Chengru and the others went to this nearby town to inquire about the news in the past few days.
Mu Chenghu said angrily after hearing this, "It's really nonsense, how can this thing be done, he never thought that if he didn't succeed here, what should we do?" ”
"Actually, Dad, I think the second uncle's method is feasible, this place is a necessary place to transport grain and grass, and the terrain here is dangerous, as long as the other party is not guarded, we are sure of victory. Dad, when is it now, and what are you still doing with those dead principles? The grain and grass they stole from the common people, and they used it to supply the enemy army, so there is no need for our benevolence to be used on such people! Mu Yao cautiously enlightened.
"Am I the kind of rotten good person? I'm just afraid that your second uncle won't be able to do this, but instead put himself in it. Mu Chenghu is quite dissatisfied with the character of a bad person.
"Dad, then why do you give two cows to the people of Yanjia Village when you know everyone's situation?" Mu Yao has always been worried about this matter.
When Mu Chenghu heard Mu Yao's words, he suddenly realized that there were probably many people in Mujia Village who had the same questions.
Mu Chenghu said seriously, "The salt we got from them is enough for us to eat for three or five years, and it is also appropriate to leave two cows for them, but at that time I didn't realize that everyone's situation was much more serious than I thought." ”
"So then you ended up like that." Mu Yao felt that her father might have fallen ill because of this.
"What I'm most afraid of now is that your second uncle has three long and two short, why don't you say there is no one to stop it?" The more Mu Chenghu thought about it, the more worried he became.
"Dad, don't worry about the second uncle, the second uncle will be fine with the thirteenth grandfather and the second dog uncle." Mu Yao comforted.
Who knew that it was okay if Mu Yao didn't say this, Mu Chenghu was so anxious when he heard this.
Mu Yao looked at Mu Chenghu's appearance, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she had to follow Mu Chenghu back to the tent.
When Mu Chenghu returned to the tent, he saw Liu Wu walking in with a bowl of medicine.
"Asu, you go and find Uncle Wei, and I'll go down the mountain with him." Mu Chenghu won't be able to take care of his body.
"Uncle Wei is not on the mountain, he and the two brothers Chengtian went to survey the terrain at the foot of the mountain." Liu Fu estimated that Mu Chenghu already knew about Mu Chengru's descent from the mountain, so he didn't hide it from him.
"Asu, can my mother and second sister-in-law rest assured that my second brother and a few of them will go down the mountain to inquire about the news?" Mu Chenghu looked at the catkins with a negotiated face and couldn't help but ask.
After hearing this, Liu Fu said calmly, "What's not to worry about, the second brother and a few of them pretended to be Chen Guoren and mixed in, and others couldn't hide when they saw it, how dangerous it could be." ”
Liu Wu's words surprised Mu Chenghu: "How can they do it?" ”
"Your second brother has traveled outside in the north and south over the years, and has learned a lot of local languages, and he also knows some of the languages of Chen Guo, and the thirteenth uncle and their older generation all know some Chen Chinese dialect more or less, and it is said that the thirteenth uncle is the best and most spoken among the older generation." Liu Wu explained.
Having said that, Mu Chenghu still couldn't help but worry.
"But why did they bring Mu Ergou, a person who has no combat power at all?" Mu Chenghu muttered in a low voice.
Liu Fu laughed instantly when he heard this.
"Asu, what are you laughing at?" Mu Chenghu looked at the catkins with an inexplicable expression.
Liu Fu replied with a smile: "You said you, don't you like to take Mu Ergou with you when you go out to inquire about the news yourself?" Why is this so disgusting, you are concerned about it, do you think there is someone more suitable than him? ”
"I just think Uncle Wei is more suitable." Mu Chenghu thought about it and said.
"They also considered Uncle Wei before, but in the end, the second brother still felt that the investigation was inseparable from Uncle Wei." Liu Fu said truthfully.
After listening to Liu Fu's words, although Mu Chenghu was no longer as worried as before, he was still not completely relieved.
Seeing this, Liu Yao gave Mu Yao a look.
Mu Yao immediately changed the topic and said, "Dad, since everyone has decided to take this path, we can't let everyone go into battle with bare hands!" ”
"Didn't you think about it? Otherwise, what am I going to do with so much iron ore? Mu Chenghu said angrily.
"Could it be that Dad, you wanted everyone to fall into the grass before?" Mu Yao looked at Mu Chenghu with a surprised expression.
"What do you mean by falling grass, can we call it forcing Liangshan? Besides, I just wanted to let the big guy have the ability to protect themselves, and if I wanted to go this way, I would be sick urgently. Mu Chenghu explained a little speechlessly.
"Then why do you approve of this practice now?" It was catkins who asked this.
"Do we have any other way now? In this cannibalistic society, we can only do this. You can't wait to starve to death! "Mu Chenghu's mood has changed quite a lot during this time.
"Daddy, look for any books on weapon forging where you have." Mu Yao reminded.
"What do you want that? And no one knows how to make weapons. "The catkins suddenly lost their brains.
"No fear, we can let Li Tiezhu study and study, maybe we will study it." Mu Chenghu told his original plan.
Liu Wu patted his thigh and said, "Why did I forget him, no wonder the second brother arranged for Li Tiehammer to smelt those iron ores when he left, maybe he also paid the same attention as you." ”
At this moment, Mu Chenghu had to admit that his second brother's courage and ability to do things were not lower than his own, and he was even much calmer and more calm and calm than himself when he encountered something.
